2010 NFL Mock Draft #8

1. St. Louis Rams: Sam Bradford, QB, OklahomaHis Pro Day only cemented the fact that the Rams are taking Bradford with the #1 pick.

2. Detroit Lions: Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma StateSuh is an option, but protecting Matthew Stafford is the smart thing to do. Matt Millen would want Dez Bryant with or without shoes.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneeers: Ndamukong Suh, DT, NebraskaPerhaps the best player in the draft goes #3. Tampa takes a step in the right direction to restore their defense.

4. Washington Redskins: Bryan Bulaga, OT, IowaThey just added a veteran QB that has a history of injuries. They better protect him.

5. Kansas City Chiefs: Trent Williams, OT, OklahomaThe Chiefs invested heavily in Matt Cassel last year, and brought in Thomas Jones this year. They need help in the trenches for Jamaal Charles and those two investments.

6. Seattle Seahawks: Gerald McCoy, DT, OklahomaMaybe McCoy is the best player in the draft. He’s a great value at #6.

7. Cleveland Browns: Eric Berry, S, TennesseeThey added Sheldon Brown at CB to bolster their secondary. They go one step forward by adding the top safety in the draft.

25. Baltimore Ravens: Jared Odrick, DT, Penn StateI like Gresham as well, but after acquiring Anquan Boldin giving Flacco offensive weapons isn’t as high a priority…as crazy as that sounds coming from Baltimore. They instead bolster their defensive line with Odrick.

26. Arizona Cardinals: Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas The Cardinals have to go defense after the way they were abused in the playoffs. Kindle can help less the blow of Dansby’s departure.

27. Dallas Cowboys: Golden Tate, Dallas CowboysThe Cowboys are pretty thin at a glory position. After Miles Austin, there isn’t a lot of talent. Jerry Jones changes that with the Golden one.

28. San Diego Chargers: Terrence Cody, DT, AlabamaIn order to improve their defense, the Chargers need to plug up the middle. Cody is a behemoth that can do just that.

29. New York Jets: Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia TechThe Jets had the #1 defense last year, and already added CB Antonio Cromartie. What they need is another target for Mark Sanchez so he can avoid the sophomore slump.

30. Minnesota Vikings: Devin McCourty, CB, RutgersA second first-rounder from Rutgers. Awesome. Cedric Griffin could miss a good chunk of the year after tearing his knee in the Saints’ loss. When he does return, he’ll likely be a step slower. A championship level team can’t have such a glaring hole.

31. Indianapolis Colts: Mike Iupati, G, IdahoThe Colts use their first round pick to add an offensive lineman to keep Peyton Manning off his back.

32. New Orleans Saints: Everson Griffen, DE, Southern CalThe Saints could use another DE to put pressure on opposing QBs.
